Border, A Journey to the Edge of Europe

Mixing history with on-the-ground reporting, this narrative centers on Bulgaria’s role in Europe’s migration crisis. Returning to her country of birth after 25 years, Kapka Kassabova begins interviewing fire walkers and smugglers, treasure hunters, botanists, border guards and more at Bulgaria’s southern edge. Her portrait of the 'gateway to Europe' depicts a beautiful region that has been a meeting-place of empires and a gateway for asylum-seekers.
